The dignity of being modest and keeping your virginity and holiness as a woman or man.

 The dignity of being modest and keeping your virginity and holiness as a woman or man.

Alhamdulillah, let's remind ourselves the keeping our virginity is important as believers or Muslims not only that but also as humans.

Allah has forbidden zina(fornication).

Allah says,

And do not come near adultery.

Surah 17;32.

Fornication is haraam and it is not good for a person to commit adultery or fornication.

Allah told the messenger of Allah peace be upon him when the woman come to him to make allegiance(bay'a), he should ascertain to her or give her some rules.

Allah says,

Al-Mumtahanah 60:12

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ إِذَا جَآءَكَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنَٰتُ يُبَايِعْنَكَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن لَّا يُشْرِكْنَ بِٱللَّهِ شَيْـًٔا وَلَا يَسْرِقْنَ وَلَا يَزْنِينَ وَلَا يَقْتُلْنَ أَوْلَٰدَهُنَّ وَلَا يَأْتِينَ بِبُهْتَٰنٍ يَفْتَرِينَهُۥ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِنَّ وَأَرْجُلِهِنَّ وَلَا يَعْصِينَكَ فِى مَعْرُوفٍۙ فَبَايِعْهُنَّ وَٱسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُنَّ ٱللَّهَۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ 

O Prophet, when the believing women come to you pledging to you that they will not associate anything with Allāh, nor will they steal, nor will they commit unlawful sexual intercourse, nor will they kill their children, nor will they bring forth a slander they have invented between their arms and legs,[1] nor will they disobey you in what is right - then accept their pledge and ask forgiveness for them of Allāh. Indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.

When Hind, the wife of Abu Sufyan came to him to pledge allegiance, he said to her not to commit shirk and when he reached the term of adultery, she asked the prophet, do a free believing woman commit adultery?

So to them such was abomination to them.

Keeping our virginity before marriage is a prestige which is valuable in the sight of people and Allah.

Allah says,

An-Nur 24:2

ٱلزَّانِيَةُ وَٱلزَّانِى فَٱجْلِدُوا۟ كُلَّ وَٰحِدٍ مِّنْهُمَا مِا۟ئَةَ جَلْدَةٍۖ وَلَا تَأْخُذْكُم بِهِمَا رَأْفَةٌ فِى دِينِ ٱللَّهِ إِن كُنتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْءَاخِرِۖ وَلْيَشْهَدْ عَذَابَهُمَا طَآئِفَةٌ مِّنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ 

English - Sahih International

The [unmarried] woman or [unmarried] man found guilty of sexual intercourse[1] - lash each one of them with a hundred lashes,[2] and do not be taken by pity for them in the religion [i.e., law] of Allāh,[3] if you should believe in Allāh and the Last Day. And let a group of the believers witness their punishment.

Allah knows the value of modesty that Allah prescribed a punishment for it in this world before the hereafter.

Modesty or chastity opens door for success in this world and hereafter and makes our heart cleanse and white from sins.

As we know, zina darkens the face and takes away the barakah of Allah upon a person.

Whatever one does will never see success unless he or she repents.

Chastity also grants us people or spouses who will be good to us as we have kept the laws of Allah from abstaining from zina.

Chastity prevents us from sickness as we have preserve our bodies from haraam so Allah has made them healthy and strong for us.

Today zina is common because of media and nudity and fashion.
